I stopped to watch and listen to the birds singing their varied songs, flitting from tree to tree. I wondered what they were, but never got a clear enough view of them to even make a guess. And I didn't recognize the song. So they remained a mystery. Sometimes that's just fine. In fact, sometimes it's better that way.
The other night I sat and watched a Big Brown Bat fly overhead, swerving this way and that, catching near elusive insects. Have you ever watched a bat fly? I mean really watched? They are amazing animals. One of these days I may do an entire blog on bats.
I am constantly amazed at the beauty of even the most simple things in life. I'm not an activist in any way, but I feel great loss and frustration when I see how we all to often regard things of nature as expendable, unimportant in the big picture. They are the big picture. And I believe, at some future time, maybe sooner than later, we will be held accountable for how we treat and what we do with these God-given creations.
